Great to meet you!

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with extensive experience providing mental health care across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, ACT teams, and substance use treatment settings. Since beginning my mental health career, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals through complex emotional and psychiatric challenges with compassion, respect, and a trauma-informed approach.

I specialize in treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and substance use concerns. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating life transitions, chronic mental health challenges, and recovery journeys.

My approach is collaborative and individualized. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding each person’s story, strengths, and goals. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapeutic techniques to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and improve overall well-being.

My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported as they work toward healing and meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing care is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I believe that effective mental health treatment begins with building a trusting relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I take time to learn each client’s unique experiences, challenges, strengths, and goals to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their needs and values.

I use a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach, combining medication management, education, and therapeutic strategies to support emotional wellness and long-term growth. I believe clients are active partners in their care, and I prioritize open communication, shared decision-making, and empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to make meaningful changes.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel encouraged to heal, build resilience, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where we begin to understand their unique story and mental health needs. We will discuss current concerns, symptoms, personal history, past treatment experiences, goals, and what they hope to achieve through care.

I will take time to complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including reviewing mental health history, medications, medical background, lifestyle factors, and any challenges affecting daily functioning. Together, we will explore treatment options, discuss recommendations, and create an individualized plan that may include medication management, therapy approaches, lifestyle strategies, and ongoing support.

My goal is for clients to leave the first session feeling heard, informed, and involved in their care. Building a strong therapeutic partnership is an important first step toward healing and achieving meaningful progress.
